First off its Stephen King so its always good. Drama is what He does best.
Short
of his grocery lists, horror writer Stephen King seems to publish
everything he's ever written. His enormous output undoubtedly staggers
the imagination of any would-be writer. However, quantity does not equal
quality, and STEPHEN KING'S SILVER BULLET, which King adapted himself
from
his own novelette, is a dismal and woefully inept werewolf picture.
Marty Coslaw (Corey Haim) is a disabled youngster who rides around in a
rocket-powered wheelchair dubbed "The Silver Bullet," which, as we all know, is also the only kind of ammunition
that can knock off a werewolf. When a crazed
murderer starts a bloody reign of terror in little Marty's hometown, his
parents do the only sensible thing: take off on a vacation and leave
their handicapped son with his drunken Uncle Red (Gary Busey). King's
smug style permeates the picture like a rank odor as the story lurches
from one poorly
created sequence to another. The werewolf effects, in keeping with the
movie's other standards, are just awful; any resemblance between a
scary, hairy beast and the creature that lurches on-screen here
(designed by Carlo Rambaldi) is wholly in the filmmakers' imagination. A
real waste of time, to
put it mildly. King would further massacre his own words on film in
MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (1986).
When I watched the movie on youtube. Saw this and made me think of Madea's Peace maker. (it was a gun) wait that was the Life saver nevermind.)
